As part of the Development Operations team, this position focuses on proactive data hygiene, process streamlining, basic Salesforce NPSP administrative, and quality assurance of reports and dashboards, ensuring the data powering fundraising decisions is reliable and well maintained.

  • Perform basic Salesforce administration tasks including user setup and deactivation, permission set assignments, profit management, and user access troubleshooting.
  • Identify patterns in data challenges and workflow bottlenecks, and recommend process improvements to support scalable fundraising operations.
  • Recommend improvements to data capture, process flow, and system configuration to support scalable fundraising operations and collaborate on system enhancements with the Manager, Fundraising Systems.
  • Draft and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) related to data management, list pulls, reporting, and system workflows.
